Hello, dancers of the world!

 

My name is Veneta and I am originally from Bulgaria, a small, lovely South European country. I am currently living and working in Germany – a land of punctuality and beer.

 

My dance experience starts from the age of 7 when I was attending classical ballet classes back home in Bulgaria. My dance teacher was extremely versatile, so with time we moved on to learning modern/contemporary dance as well. I was a part of that group for about 9 years. I graduated High school at the age of 16 and once in university, I decided to expand my horizons, so I joined an Oriental Dance Club. The main focus there was on Turkish and Egyptian belly dance. Over time, I became the club’s leader. I teach belly dance to a versatile group of dancers – from complete beginners to advanced level. In my class I combine a mixture of belly dance with several types of work-out routines, depending on the level of the class. Nevertheless, everything is backed-up with a heavy backbone of ballet exercises. So far with this group, I have choreographed and directed four 1 hour long oriental dance shows, some of which also have a heavy tribal fusion influence. Alongside this oriental experience, I have been developing and participating in a contemporary dance team. This team has a focus on advanced level dancers only and we have produced two dance and visual performances. In these shows we incorporated interactive media which allowed the dancers themselves to generate visual backgrounds via their movement.
